• Didn't ace my Calc quiz today, but I didn't blank out on it, either.
• Participated in a Physical Therapy hamstring study.
• Submitted 4 pictures to Calliope.
• Got through the Client/Server lab.

However, my main thing today was just talking with others. There's a new guy hanging out in the IT lounge at the same time I'm with the Data Com people. He asked me to read him the latest on Charles The Technician. It provides us IT students much laughs. He then asked why "Fire and Rain" upset me the last time he saw me. I explained I listened to him growing up. My mother enjoyed him. And with her dying unexpectedly, the line "I always thought that I would see you again" just hit me hard that day.

About half an hour later, I was with Renee and Bobby. We were talking and the issue of my medication came up. I told them I was on Prozac. They asked me why and I explained that I'm bi-polar and have OCD. I'm not ashamed of it. It's just a part of life. I answered their questions about it. How do they effect me? What obessions do I have? I explained it all. I don't mind talking about it when people ask. I like to show that people can have these problems and still be a great person. They said they never would have guess I suffered from these problems. To them, I guess I'm just another person. But I do have these problems. I'm trying to live with them as a part of me, not as me. I'm more than just the depressed person I can be. I like to play on the computer, I have a sick sense of humor, I love Richard Marx music, I'm not afraid to travel. I have more faces than the depression.

In a nutshell, I am living life to the fullest at the moment.
